Hmmm...

Seeing this makes me tempted to try to make some optional 'hardsides' for my Goldie when she arrives... (yea, I laid down the dinero for it!) Then again, I'll havta check how well my intended cargo would fit... Oh, now thats sneaky (* Sci-fi idea popped into head *)

Make sure ya prep the wood well Kranky, or it'll ruin your paint job. If ya want waterproof AND strength without fibreglas mess, try thinned epoxy:

Use 2-part HobyPoxy (or whatever brand), 45m set, or 2h if you're slow, and mix in equal parts as directions. ~Then~ add some Klenk's Epoxy Thinner (used for enamel refinishing on tubs) but only a few drops atta time, stirring in-between additions. When you have it down to paint consistancy, paint away. Use cheap disposable brushes, as cleaning is a "female-dog". I don't go any thinner as set time goes a bit wierd.

I use this on all my R/C boats, as it makes 'em practically indestructable (to the point you can rip out all interior framing!)
